Thankful Family
reviewed on: 10/14/2019 by AnonymousThank you so much for the care that you give our Aunt & Uncle. From the very first day that they've been at The Birches, we know that they have been in excellent hands. Uprooting them from Acton, Mass. was a necessary step towards insuring they they might have a better quality of life... as they were no longer able to care for themselves. Although their transition to assisted living has been a challenge, the care and love and patience of your wonderful staff has made all of the difference in bringing them back to full health, and helping them in "settling-in" to their new home here in Newtown. We will be forever grateful to all of you for all that you do for them.
In need of medicaid pay facility
reviewed on: 09/26/2018 by AnonymousI contacted the Birches as I am trying to relocate my parents to Bucks County. Both have differing needs...one is personal care/private pay while the other is skilled nursing/medicaid. Of course, I want them at the same facility. Upon talking to the Director of Marketing, I found that Birches is private pay only. Typically, when a facility did not take medicaid as an option for one parent; the conversation stopped there. I live in Southern California, so coordinating this from across the country has not been the easiest of endeavors. She took the time out of her day to send me a list of potential facilities in the area that could meet our needs. I can not even begin to tell you what a huge help this was, particularly as I do not live there and am not familiar with the facilities. These decisions are always rather stressful, and the fact that she did this act of service with no benefit aside from sheer kindness was truly a light in this process. It only further underscores that the Birches is indeed worthy of its recognition and praise, thus why I had contacted you in the first place. Thank you again. I am very grateful.
Happy Resident

Seemed like a nice place
reviewed on: 05/04/2015 by AnonymousWe visited this community while looking into care options for a loved one. We did not take an in-depth look at The Birches, as they were full during the time of our search, but they did seem to be a nice place overall, and worth a look for other families looking into care in the area!
Could not have been more impressed
reviewed on: 09/27/2018 by Paula DeckerI made an appointment with Carol Williams , a marketing representative at the Birches in Newtown, to tour the facility with my 95 year old mother. From the moment we entered the Birches, I could not have been more pleased or impressed! The building and grounds are clearly well-cared for, impeccably appointed and inviting. Carol gave us a leisurely tour where we met several residents and go to see the many amenities The Birches offers. She took additional time to answer our questions and was even able to show us the rooms of several residents with their permission. I'm hoping mom makes the decision to move in, I know she will have a great experience getting to know the other residents and enjoying all the Birches has to offer. And if the rest of the staff is as lovely as Carol, that would be the topping on the cake.
